Icons are those cute little pictures on your Windows desktop that help you identify a program or file. You can easily make your own icons by using MS Paint, Photoshop, or any other mainstream graphics program.

Here's How:

1. Click Start, Programs, Accessories, and Paint.
2. In the Paint window, choose Image, Attributes.
3. Make the Height and Width 32 pixels, and click OK.
4. Click View, Zoom, and then Show Grid.
5. Click View, Zoom, and Custom.
6. Choose 800% and click OK.
7. Create your new icon. Save it as a bitmap (bmp) file.
8. You can change its extension later to .ico, if you like.
9. You can now treat this file as a regular icon file.

When you replace a Desktop icon with one you made yourself, you don't need to refer to it by anything other than its filename.

Thanks! For these easy steps. I did it and I see the reply buttons under each cnmmeot. I have one problem and don't know if there is a solution. When I reply to a cnmmeot it takes me to another screen with all the cnmmeots on it. And if I want to continue replying i have to go back to original screen and so on. Is there any way to reply underneath each cnmmeot in one page like in disqus. Like if you are chatting???Thanks

dron3 I think their is an option of file renaming in windows you can do it with f2 key as well. just make sure that the complete file name is visible. i.e is name with extention :)

I've searched a long while for this, and I'm so glad I finally found it!
I do wish that the image wouldn't be so deformed after shrinking... and that I could make the open space around it transparent... But I'm just so happy that this works!
Thanks so very much! :D
